Uranium mineralization beginning this close to surface is uncommon, particularly in the Athabasca Basin, and it enhances the overall attractiveness of the discovery as we continue to expand it. With mineralization open in multiple directions, we see meaningful opportunity for further growth. These results confirm continuity across multiple pods and support our interpretation of a broader mineralized system at ACKIO. The next phase of drilling will step south to test for additional zones along the broader fertile trend,\" said Rebecca Hunter President & CEO of Geiger.Early drilling on ACKIO has extended mineralization in both Pod 1 and Pod 7, supporting continuity within the structurally controlled system. Both holes intersected mineralization within discrete fault and alteration zones with radiometric readings of up to 1,000 counts per second (cps). One hole returned a continuous 10-metre mineralized interval, beginning at 52 metres downhole which included a high-intensity zone at approximately 57 metres. ACKIO MineralizationThe 2026 program targeted mineralization at Pods 1 and 7, which are presentwithin structurally controlled zones marked by strong brecciation and alteration, including hematite, chlorite and sulphides, hosted in variable calc-silicate and calc-pelite rocks. Localized desilicification and albitization are observed near higher-grade intervals and appear to be associated with stronger radiometric responses.In hole AK26-145, mineralization was intersected from 52 to 62 metres, with peak radiometric r...
